This is a national stage application of PCT/EP2015/080830, filed internationally on Dec. 21, 2015, which claims priority to French Application No. 1463104, filed on Dec. 22, 2014, both of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.

The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising at least one particular pyridinedicarboxylic acid derivative, or a salt thereof, and at least one antioxidant chosen from flavone heterosides, polyhydroxylated stilbenes, pyrimidinecarboxylic acid derivatives and ascorbic acid esters, and also to the use thereof for inducing and/or stimulating the growth of human keratin fibres such as the hair and the eyelashes and/or for curbing their loss.

The invention also relates to a cosmetic process for treating human keratin fibres using said composition.

The growth of the hair and its renewal are mainly determined by the activity of the hair follicles and their matrix environment. Their activity is cyclical and essentially comprises three phases, namely the anagenic phase, the catagenic phase and the telogenic phase.

The anagenic phase (active or growth phase), which lasts several years and during which the hairs lengthen, is followed by a very short and transient catagenic phase which lasts a few weeks, and then by a telogenic phase or resting phase which lasts a few months. At the end of the resting period, the hairs fall out and another cycle begins again. The head of hair is thus undergoing constant renewal and, of the approximately 150 000 hairs which make up a head of hair, approximately 10% are at rest and will be replaced in the months to come. The natural loss of the hair can be estimated, on average, at a few hundred hairs per day for a normal physiological state. This constant physical renewal process undergoes a natural change during the course of ageing; the hairs become finer and their cycles shorter. In addition, various causes may bring about substantial temporary or definitive hair loss. Hair loss, in particular alopecia, is essentially due to disruptions in hair renewal. These disruptions lead in a first stage to acceleration of the frequency of the cycles at the expense of the quality of the hairs, and then of their quantity. Progressive miniaturization of the bulbs takes place, in conjunction with isolation of these bulbs by gradual thickening of the perifollicular collagen matrix and also of the outer connective sheath. Revascularization around the hair follicle is thus made more difficult cycle after cycle. The hairs regress and become miniaturized until they are no more than an unpigmented down, and this phenomenon leads to gradual thinning of the head of hair. The number and mean diameter of the hair follicles that constitute the head of hair are affected. Certain areas are preferentially affected, especially the temporal or frontal lobes in men, and diffuse alopecia of the crown is observed in women.

The term “alopecia” also covers an entire family of hair follicle complaints whose final consequence is partial or general definitive hair loss. It may more particularly be a case of androgenic alopecia. In a large number of cases, early hair loss occurs in genetically predisposed individuals, which is known as andro-chrono-genetic alopecia; this form of alopecia especially concerns men. It is moreover known that certain factors, such as hormonal imbalance, physiological stress or malnutrition, can accentuate the phenomenon. In addition, loss or impairment of the hair can be in connection with seasonal phenomena.

Loss of hair density and hair loss are often experienced as distressing by persons thereby affected, especially when they are still young.

Pharmacological active agents such as minoxidil, latanoprost, fluridil, spironolactone and combinations thereof are known. However, they do not make it possible to maintain totally satisfactory hair density and may have adverse side effects.

Other products belonging to the cosmetic field exist. Among these, examples that may be mentioned include Aminexil® and Stemoxydine®.

However, consumers are still in search of more efficient products that have no adverse side effects, which would delay the process of “loss of hair density” or “excessive hair loss”.

The Applicant has found, surprisingly and advantageously, that the combination of at least one pyridinedicarboxylic acid derivative of formula (I) as described below, or a salt thereof, with at least one antioxidant chosen from flavone heterosides, polyhydroxylated stilbenes, pyrimidinecarboxylic acid derivatives and ascorbic acid esters produces improved hypoxia-mimicking effects when compared with such a derivative of formula (I) alone or its combination with vitamin C.

This derivative is especially described in European patent application No. 1 352 629. An example of this derivative is sold under the trade name Stemoxydine® by the company L'Oreal.

Advantageously, the combination of the invention makes it possible to obtain improved effects on the head of hair especially regarding the hair density, the diameter or any other parameter that improves the quality of the head of hair, when compared with the use of stemoxydine alone.

One subject of the invention is thus a cosmetic composition comprising:

The composition according to the invention may also contain adjuvants that are common in cosmetics, which are conventionally used in an amount ranging from 0.01% to 20% and better still from 0.1% to 10% of the total weight of the composition.

The present invention also relates to a cosmetic process for treating human keratin fibres and/or the scalp, comprising the application of a composition according to the invention to the fibres and/or the scalp, and more particularly the hair, the eyelashes and/or the scalp.

In particular, the process comprises the steps of applying a composition according to the invention to the scalp and/or the fibres, and optional rinsing. In the case of rinsing, the leave-on time of the composition may range from 1 minute to 30 minutes.

Preferably, the cosmetic composition according to the invention is not rinsed off.

The examples that follow serve to illustrate the invention.

The following protocol was followed: the tests were performed on human keratinocytes in culture, seeded on Greiner brand 48-well plates, coated with bovine collagen I.

The plates were prepared according to the following procedure: the solution of bovine collagen I at 0.1 mg/ml was prepared by dilution in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) of the bovine collagen I solution sold by the company Life Technologies. Each well was immersed with 1 ml of this dilution, which was left at the bottom of the wells for 1 hour at 37° C. At the end of the incubation, the collagen solution was removed and the wells were rinsed twice with 1 ml of PBS. The plates were then stored at 4° C. until the time of use.

The tests are performed using primary human keratinocytes at a rate of 23 800 cells/cm2 of wells coated with bovine collagen I as explained previously, followed by culturing for 72 hours in the presence of 500 μl of KGM medium sold by the company Lonza, supplemented with:

The cells were then treated with the various compounds (stemoxydine, vitamin C, resveratrol, baicalin, ectoin, ascorbyl palmitate and mixtures thereof with stemoxydine) in concentrations ranging up to the highest non-cytotoxic concentration, for 72 hours under normoxia (21% oxygen).

Following this culturing and treatment, the cell lawns were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (or PBS) and then lysed using a lysis buffer proposed in the kit from the supplier Qiagen. The RNAs were then extracted using the RNeasy isolation kit and the Qiacube robotic workstation, both sold by the company Qiagen, according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The quantity and quality of RNAs were controlled using the LabChip® GX bioanalyser from Perkin-Elmer before performing reverse transcription (RT) using the Qiagen kit and according to the supplier's recommendations (QuantiTect reverse transcription kit). The cDNA obtained following the RT was then amplified by real-time quantitative PCR using a specific kit sold under the commercial brand LightCycler® 480 SYBR Green Master Mix by the company Roche (Cat. No. 14123920) and an LC480 thermocycler (Roche). The PCRs were performed in triplicate (n=3). The information relating to the primers used is presented below.

Priming was performed using specific standard primers sold by the company Qiagen, the references for which are BNIP3/QT00024178/Hs_BNIP3-1-SG Quantitect Assay Primer; CA9/QT00011697/Hs_CA9-1-SG Quantitect Assay Primer; EGNL3/QT00025900/Hs_EGNL3-1-SG Quantitect Assay Primer; RPL13A/QT00089915/Hs_RPL13A-1-SG Quantitect Assay Primer, and the fluorescent probe of brand name SYBR Green sold by the company specified previously.

The PCR was performed in three phases:

The incorporation of SYBR Green into the amplified DNA was measured continuously during the amplification cycles. These measurements make it possible to obtain curves of fluorescence intensity as a function of the PCR cycles and thus to evaluate the relative expression of each marker from the cycle thresholds (Ct), corresponding to the number of cycles required to appropriately detect a fluorescence level. For each marker and for each condition, the relative expression (RE) value was normalized relative to the expression of the reference gene RPL13.

The expression of each gene is normalized by that of the “stable referent gene” (or “housekeeping gene” RPL13A, ribosomal gene). The results (“fold change” (Fc)) are expressed relative to the control.

The genes used are hypoxia-sensitive (HIF-1 alpha signalling pathway) and are collated in Table 1 below.
